A new report launched in Parliament has warned that restricting glyphosate use could increase production costs, reduce yields and undermine environmental gains made through conservation and regenerative agriculture.
The report – Seeding the Future through Conservation and Regenerative Agriculture to Meet the UK’s Agricultural and Climate Challenges – was produced by the European Conservation Agriculture Federation and the University of Gloucestershire.
Its publication comes as glyphosate’s Great Britain licence undergoes renewal assessment by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) ahead of its expiry on 15 December 2026, and amid mounting pressure from the Soil Association and other campaign groups to ban pre-harvest use of the herbicide.
